GOOD JOB NAPERVILLE NORTH!!! I LOVE THE STORY LINE! It’s cute when the cheerleaders walk in and then the “nerds” shake them off. What a great life lesson!

Both teams did a great job! Huntley’s dance is tight.. i mean they are dancers after all. but i love how naperville north kids filmed that in their own home and created their production all by themselves. the effects are awesome!! I say Go Naperville north!

  Orchesis dances are made by the dancers themselves. Just letting you know. The dances are all us.

both teams did great!! i loved naperville’s skit at the beginning. Huntley had some great moves but didn’t the rules say there could be up to five performers..?
Nicole

WHITE CHICKS ARE AWESOME!!! I love how the dance goes perfectly with the music and they actually have hair to flip! I heard some of the money will be going towards the needy. Great job NORTH!

Naperville had effects from a COMPUTER . & Didnt start dancing until the last 30 seconds .

Huntley came upp with the dance all by themselves and showed creativity . Not only did they whip their hair , they also put actual dance moves in it that made it extra hot .

Bottom line, Huntley is where its at <3
- Rachel

  I was one of the dancers in the NN video, and we added the effects to make the video better(we thought they made them better at least!) and to highlight the hair whipping, since that’s what the contest is aboutt.(: We def would’ve danced for longer, but the vid could only be a minute. I think you guys did a really good job though, & good luck!
Liz
February 3, 2011 at 5:54 pm

i hear ya sophie.. they did.. and they said that the video couldn’t be longer than 1 minute… hmmm ??
Francesca Diaz
February 3, 2011 at 5:56 pm

Okay the rules didnt say ne thing bout how many dancers there is suppose to be ! So all these ppl hating on the Huntley Orchesis Club’s suck it up and nd STOP HATING cuz these gurls worked hard to perfect this ! ND IM PRETTY SURE DEEP DOWN EVERYONE KNOWS THEY DID THE BEST !

The rules also say “no defamatory, threatening, obscene, harassing or otherwise unlawful material”. Calling others “loser” is along those lines??
- Sophie
  February 3, 2011 at 8:27 pm
  
  I think this rule is directed more towards the video being threatening to like viewers, but idk.
  - Lex
    February 3, 2011 at 8:38 pm
    
    it is towards defamatory statements in general.
    both schools put in their best effort, it’s not really ours to say who wins; but we’ll let the votes decide.
    - Rachel
      February 3, 2011 at 8:49 pm
      
      The “loser” remark was part of our storyline, it wasn’t meant to be threatening or defamatory. But I agree, we should just let the votes decide!
Jazzy Morales
February 3, 2011 at 6:03 pm

if they were that strict about the rules about how many ppl your supposed to have , & how long it was supposed to be , why is huntley a finalist then ? Ya’ll jist mad cuz everyones voting for us & we’re winning .

Your just making excuses .

Huntley did good, but I liked Naperville North’s better because they had a cute story plot! GOOD JOB Naperville North! You earned my vote
Aaron
February 3, 2011 at 7:56 pm

I vote Huntley!
Nicole
February 3, 2011 at 8:17 pm

If you looked under the official rules it does say you can only have 5 people. These are no excuses— just stating the facts. Naperville’s video not only whipped hair and danced, but they had a plot too. Now that’s creative! GO NNHS!
Amanda
February 3, 2011 at 8:19 pm

Ok honestly, it really doesn’t matter who wins, and no there NOT making up excuses. Idk if we win or lose, it was still fun to make! And we still get money either way.

I wasn’t trying to “hate”, haha, just wondering if I remembered correctly. I still think Huntley did a good job, but North got my vote.
Abby
February 3, 2011 at 8:31 pm

ok guys stop with the drama! both teams did great! but we all know that Naperville North is a tad bit better

February 3, 2011 at 9:11 pm

Okay my sisters are in Orchesis for Huntley… but im not saying this just because my sisters are in this… but common guys im 12 and i have more common sense then you guys.. seriously we all know that Huntley did better.. the competition isn’t for who had the best plot line. It is for who dances better and those Naperville girls barely ever danced.. and in the song they said i whip it real hard.. well Naperville did it weak so idk why you guys are even giving Naperville votes because it is a fact that Huntley was waaay better. Okay

Ok. I dont know what any of you white naperville people are doing and sayin. I live in huntley.But i hate my school cause im like 1 out of the 4 black people in my school. But all im sayin is Huntley was far better then u naperville. So vote for Huntley. Also it doesnt matter about the plot for napeville. tht didnt really matter and u see the votes like 71 to 134. Come on now. VOTE FOR HUNTLEY

huntley better, so our dancers our better. there story line was stupid. this is a dance off not a movie… sso suck it up
Marisa
February 4, 2011 at 3:59 pm

Honestly, us Naperville girls whipped IT REAL HARD! And nobody can tell us otherwise!! and the competition isn’t all about the dance. We aren’t a dance group but we tried our best and we would’ve danced longer if the requirements permitted us to. In the future, if a contest means a lot to you at least devote the time to look through all the guidelines. ) No hard feelings. I wish the best for all of you and whoever wins, wins. Hate comments are very unnecessary guys. We both did great. Where one team experienced weakness, the other showed strength. So one team is not better than the other. I love you Naperville North and Huntley, great job D

whats with all the hating on naperville??? we both did great! calm down huntley girls, its just a contest. if huntley was better, i would honestly post that huntly is better, but their video doesnt make any sense. sure they have some cute dance moves but their not that great. Naperville doesnt have much dance experience, but they’re still pretty good! and who cares if they have a storyline?! its cute and creative! so stop hating huntly! have some good sportsmanship!
- Chika
  February 7, 2011 at 8:52 pm
  
  Why does dancing have to make sense?? Its just dancing it doesn’t have to have a theme to it. I mean seriously the competition is about dancing not making a movie if you want to make a movie go enter a skit contest but not a dancing contest i mean im not hating on anyone but im just bringing out the point of the competition…. to have fun and dance!! not to make a movie

Allison,

Angela may be referring to the total vote count, which includes the text-in votes to 31286 that we put in the paper, though I don’t know how she knows how those votes are going since the voting update won’t be revealed until the paper comes out in schools tomorrow! (see Page 3)

Also, voting ends Monday at 9 a.m., so there’s still time for either side to take the lead!

The competition was about who could dance to “whip my hair” better, not about an irrelevant story line or special effects lmao
